Screen turns on when receiving text message

The screen of my galaxy s4, when sitting idly on my desk, automatically turns on whenever I receive a text message. I don't want the screen to turn on because it will remain on indefinitely if I receive a text if while it's charging. All I want is for the phone to vibrate/notify me and turn the blue LED indicator on. How can I get rid of this setting? Thanks.

Try messaging > menu button > settings > uncheck "preview message" under notification settings.

Unfortunately, that is already unchecked. The settings I have checked are:

Auto-retrieve, Group conversations, Notifications (make sounds and show icon in status bar when you receive message), and Vibrate.

I've scoured most of the phone's settings and still haven't pinpointed which one it is.

I would have to double check, but I don't think my S4 turns the screen on when a text message is delivered. I don't know how I have it set to keep the screen off.

The weird thing is that it wasn't like this when I first purchased up the phone a couple of days ago, so it must be a setting that I unintentionally enabled. How irritating!
